i was in the pentagon and it got a lot better. you realize that you really have to go after the people who do the work, logistics, communications, information, build car bombs, communicate, you have to take those out. so we came up with a strategy. i used to tell people it is like rocky balboa and apollo creed. we will hit them in the mid section and hit them a lot. from august 2004 when we did 18 raids, we were doing 300 raids a month. that is 10 per night. now, if you stop and say, that the law, that's impressive, that means that every guy is going on the force in a braid each night. every pilot is flying one or two of these per night. these are not patrolled. someone is getting shot. extraordinary. in order to do that, you cannot use previous systems. you have to be able to bring in this intelligence on the industrial scale, we would start to exploit the computers, phones, we would take biometric data, it would be pumped back to west virginia from the target is if we ever had that person before. and if we had even had any deali
